Overview

Enterprise modelling helps organisations to build digital models of processes, data flow, resources and systems. This gives decision makers the information they need to improve performance. This module examines theoretical and computational tools to simulate and improve how an organisation operates.

Entry Requirements

A Level 8 Honours Bachelor's Degree (or equivalent) in Engineering, Manufacturing or a related discipline.
